stay the hell away from usa wheels, unless you are dropping off a bomb to blow the place up. make sure jeff the owner and matt are inside first.

ok im finished with that.

al's hubcaps as previously stated above or wheel collision center in bath, pa. those are the 2 known wheel repair places that are actually good and do quality work.

btw, if you're just looking to sell it, i don't think it would be worth it.
do you really think you're going to get back the same amount when you sell it, as it cost you to repair the wheels? i mean if you think a few scracthes on the wheels are really going to make the difference between lets say, 15,500 and 15,800, (just two random numbers) and you're going to be paying about 200 or so to get them fixed, if it was me i'd say f it and just leave them the way they are.
I just don't want to sell someone a car with crappy wheels...it's a morality thing.

The place in Bath, PA is the one that quoted me like $250 per wheel...again if I have to pay that I'll just either buy a set of used ones or sell the car as is. That's absurd.

That's pretty funny...it's true though. I didn't think the wheels were that bad until I was washing the car

Al's quoted me at $145 a wheel but they haven't even seen them yet...either way I think I'll make the drive up there.
